Lawmakers Acknowledge Importance of Collection and Restoration of Historic and Classic Cars

The United States Senate has passed Senate Resolution 513 (S. Res. 513) designating July 9, 2010 as "Collector Car Appreciation Day" as a means to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.

United States Senate Resolution 513 was sponsored by Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC).

Senators Tester and Burr have been strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, and S. Res. 513 reaffirms their understanding of the cultural importance of collector cars, paying tribute to America's ever-growing love affair with cars, recognizing the integral role car clubs have played in fostering appreciation towards preserving automotive history, and raising awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.

Restoration businesses help save our nation's heritage while providing skilled jobs nationwide.

In recognition of the day, collectors and enthusiasts will be hosting events across the country. Jim Barber, Chairman of the Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) Council said, "Individuals, car clubs, and businesses are proud to be recognized as leaders. Car cruises, club gatherings, and other educational events will be scheduled for July 9 nationwide."

Probably the most constructive, worthwhile, non-invasive thing they have done since taking office!
